Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9613362A1] A hand-operated power tool includes a motor (15), a cutting element (23) driven by the motor, a pressure plate (7) adjacent the cutting element (23) for engagement against a surface to be cut and an elongate handle (14) for the user. The handle (14) is fixed with respect to the motor (15) and the cutting element (23). The pressure plate (7) is movable in use with respect to the motor (15) and the cutting element (23). The pressure plate (7) is disposed at an acute angle to the handle (14) and movable against a biasing force (27) with respect to the handle (14), at a constant angle to the handle (14), to allow a desired amount of the cutting element (23) to be exposed below the pressure plate (7). There is no exposed cutting element in the absence of user applied pressure. The cutting element (23) is driven for cutting in a plane parallel with the longitudinal axis of the handle (14) and within the lateral extent of the handle (14).
